Into the West

I was in Kerry last weekend.

This was taken on Couminole Beach, in the evening; not quite as late as you’d think – the sun was on its way down but had a good portion of the sky to cross yet.

The title of this photograph is taken from a song which Annie Lennox sings at the [...]

Fishing Harbour

It seems as though I have a refrain of “not posting much” and “not taking many photographs”. But for once, here is something new. It is a collection of fishing trawlers in Howth, County Dublin.

I have spent a lot of time in Howth over my years taking photographs and some of my favourite photographs have [...]

Hurricane Katia, the remnants thereof I

I spent some time in south west Ireland over the past few days.

This was taken from the prom in Lahinch and there will be a few more from there along with some from Inch County Kerry  over the next day or so

All my life I’ve wanted to get a shot like this. In theory I [...]

Martti

I hope I spelled his name right. I’m not good with Estonian.

In theory – because theory is a wonderful thing – I was planning on being in New York with the ASP event today. That didn’t work out according to plan for so many reasons it’s not funny. Instead I have crashed out in Dublin [...]

Board grab.

The Battle for the Bay was on in Dublin this weekend. Normally I’d be down there but this weekend I had too many other things on. So I went to the party last night and spent a couple of hours on the beach. I still got more than 250 photographs to sort through. Most of [...]

Glengarriff/Cork-Kerry border

When I was down around Bantry Bay the other day, it was quite hazy. I actually really like the haziness of this picture – mainly because when I have tried to shoot things like this before, I’ve just failed to get it right. But I like the layers in this.

There seems to be something about [...]

Margie, the tourist season has started again…

I thought what with OPW keeping the island closed until 1 April we were safe, but feckit, there’s a boat load of ‘em already.

________________________

I went to Glengarriff yesterday just because I could. While I was there, there were actually boat tours – I thought it was a bit early but since 6 of us did [...]

Inchydoney, 2011.

I’m back. There are waves out there and I really have to figure out a better place to try and shoot the sunset from. As the rally was on today, I didn’t do too much exploring. In the way of surf photography, not too much. There were six optimistic souls in the water for an [...]

standing off the shore

On the beach are about 15 kitesurfers, pumping kites, talking about what size they’ll put up, who’s going to try the new 2011 Cabrinhas. The kites are pretty. The two Cabrinha team riders are on the beach. The weather is hugely different to what they are used to; Susie tells me she spends most of [...]

Beaches

I now have an ebook up on the site which has 25 pictures of Irish beaches. The link is here and you are more than welcome to have a look at it. It is in pdf format and as advance working, it is a 31 MB file.

As a taster, here is a look at Inchydoney [...]
